The Lost Seas

Renk

Renks are small grey slugs which have developed an astounding ability to store water in their bodies. Eating a few handfuls of renks provides almost no food protein, but satisfies a traveller’s water requirements for the day. Bagfuls of renks are often carried in place of water on long journeys; unlike water, if they spill, they’re not ruined, and contamination of a portion of the supply doesn’t contaminate the rest.
